Chapter 5: Good going, Liz.
For a second, silence rained around the group, broken only by Liz's gasps for air.
Suddenly, Gohan, Videl, and Bulma rushed out of Goku's house. Looking around, and seeing his mom frightened, his dad and brother shocked into silence, Vegeta and Trunks astonished, a boy he didn't know with his face buried in his hands, and a really really pissed off looking girl standing in front of Vegeta with his mom's frying pan at her feet, Gohan really had no idea what to think.
Bulma was quicker on the uptake. "What exactly is going on out here?" she demanded. Suddenly Vegeta laughed. Everyone turned and looked at him.
There stood Vegeta, his smirk on his face. "Tell me!" Bulma said.
"Well, we met two people in the woods. Matt," Vegeta pointed to the teenager with his head in his hands, "is the calm one who knows all about us. This girl, Liz " Vegeta gestured at Liz, who was still fuming, "has the temper equal of a Saiyan warrior and the ability to disarm Kakorott's mate of her frying pan."
While the other's started to chime in the details, Videl looked at Liz. The blonde girl was finally starting to calm down and look embarrassed about what had happened. Videl wondered why she had gotten so mad. However, upon feeling Liz's ki, she figured it out. Going back inside the house, Videl returned with a Snickers bar in hand.
Gohan, who had been watching Videl out of the corner of his eye, saw the Snickers and his eyes lit up. Quickly he went over to his girlfriend and put his arm around her shoulders. Videl just looked up at him.
"Hey, what are doing with that Snickers?" Gohan asked, trying to be smooth.
"Gohan, what have I told you about trying to be smooth? It doesn't work for you. Anyway, this is for the new girl, Liz. She needs it." Videl said. Gohan just looked at her, with his forehead all crinkled up in confusion. Videl reached over and whispered in his ear. Quickly Gohan jumped back and pushed Videl in the direction of Liz. Gohan knew what Videl was talking about after only the words "It's that time of…" and if chocolate would help Liz, so be it. Gohan shuddered. He knew what his mother, Bulma and Videl were all like…his eye twitched. It was enough to scare him. Then he noticed the new guy, Matt, still had his head buried in his hands. Deciding to be his normal friendly self, Gohan walked over and introduced himself.
"Hi, I'm Gohan."
Matt just looked up. "I'm Matt. Normally I would be really excited to see you, but I'm busy being embarrassed right now."
"About the whole Liz blowing up thing?" Gohan asked.
"Yeah."
"I wouldn't worry about it. My mom and Videl had a rough beginning too and it all worked out for the best." Gohan replied.
"I hope." Matt mumbled.
Gohan decided he liked Matt.
Over on the other side, Videl handed Liz the Snickers. Liz took it and scarfed it down and then looked at Videl gratefully. "Thank you so much. I don't know how you knew what I needed, but thank you! And I can't believe I'm actually meeting you! You're my hero!"
Videl was slightly taken aback by this. She was this girl's hero? The girl who had taken out Chichi's frying pan? That was the one thing Videl had ever seen that controlled the Saiyans, and Liz had handled it easily.
"Why am I your hero?" Videl asked.
Before Liz could answer, Gohan and Matt walked up. Liz put her head on Matt's shoulder and he patted her back. Then Gohan spoke up. "Good going Liz. I heard about what Vegeta said to you and then about Mom laying into you. And I can't believe you actually knocked the frying pan out of Mom's hand. That's something none of us has ever tried!"
Liz smiled. "I learned that in a self-defense course. I believe the name of the course was "What to do if attacked by a person wielding a dangerous weapon" or something like that. Today is the first time I've ever had to do that."
Matt said, "Cat'll die when she hears it was against Chichi's frying pan." Cat was Liz's best friend back home.
Then Goku announced he was starving, so everyone went inside to eat, as was the plan originally.
